fototazo has asked a group of 50 curators, gallery owners, blog writers, photographers, academics and others actively engaged with Latin American photography to pick two photographers whose work deserves recognition.
This project aims to highlight great work being made in the region today and also to provide a starting point in both English and Spanish for exploring contemporary Latin American photography. LatAm f100 is a collaboration between fototazo and the photographer and educator
Jaime Permuth.
Today we continue the series with selections by
Gael Almeida. Her biography follows her selections as well as a list of previous contributors to the series.

Mariceu Erthal
Mariceu's work is intimate. In a continuous process of reflection, Mariceu manages to find in the other a mirror that allows her to discover and build herself as an artist. Mariceu achieves what few do and that is to show in her images a constant look inside at that which is governed by starts and pauses; joys and hardships; doubts and truths.
El trabajo de Mariceu es intimista. En un proceso continuo de reflexión, Mariceu logra encontrar en el otro un espejo que le permite irse descubriendo y construyéndose como artista. Mariceu logra lo que pocos y es mostrar en sus imágenes una mirada constante hacia adentro. Aquella que se rige por sobresaltos y descansos; por alegrías y penurias; por dudas y verdades.

Víctor Zea
Víctor's work is made of light and shadows that expose human fragility. It is also the search to reveal the invisible, the ethereal. It is the illusion to find the treasure at the end of the prism, a trip through the rainbow that shows us the different nuances of which we and our environment are made.
El trabajo de Víctor son luces y sombras que exponen la fragilidad humana. También es la búsqueda por evidenciar lo invisible, lo etéreo. Es la ilusión por encontrar el tesoro al final del prisma. Un viaje por el arcoíris que nos muestra los distintos matices de los que estamos hechos nosotros y nuestro entorno.
